Karen O Tells Us "All Is Love" in Where the Wild Things Are
Unsurprisingly, the first song off the soundtrack to Where the Wild Things Are, which already looks adorable and cool, is totally cute. Featuring the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' frontwoman Karen O and a collection of adults and children simply called "the Kids," the track is sweet and whimsical, with all the Kids' voices combining with Os high-pitched chirruping. In "All Is Love," the whole group repeats those three words over and over until you can't really do anything but smile and start to believe it.
Music Video: Yeah Yeah Yeahs Hit San Francisco For "Zero"
Color me totally biased: I like this video of Karen O dancing around the downtown streets of my home base, San Francisco. The video for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Zero" starts out at a music venue I know well called the Warfield, heads into the dressing room where the singer touches up her makeup and tosses on a pretty spectacular sparkly, studded leather jacket, and then breaks out of the venue as she boogies her way down sidewalks and atop cars.
Some reviewers have mixed feelings about the laid-back nature of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' new album (which is on sale digitally now) but I'm digging it so far.
Do You Want to See a Live-Action Where the Wild Things Are?
Details about the live-action adaptation of beloved kids' book Where the Wild Things Are have been trickling in over the past few months, from this NY Magazine piece talking about the quality of Dave Eggers' script, to the news that Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be doing some music for the film (which is directed by her ex Spike Jonze). So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing about this project, though messing around with favorite childhood books always sends up some warning flags.

Music Video: Yeah Yeahs Yeahs, "Down Boy" Live
Remember how, after one EP, everyone thought Karen O and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs would singlehandedly save rock and roll? No band can live up to that kind of hype, but after two albums and countless live shows, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have proven they're more than just a passing phase. I got all excited about them again after seeing this new video for "Down Boy," off the new EP coming out July 24 called Is Is.
